Well I'm kind of glad he's out there for this match. He should be able to contain Wiki who playys a similar style(although a lot better).

No word on who will come into the second row & Beats looks like he will be ruled out.

I doubt anyone not in the 20 named on tuesday will get a call up.

Galloway will go into the 2nd row, Reece Williams to get onto the bench.

Why would we put Bailey back in the centres, we moved him from there to the forwards now back again feels like Stu Raper, doesnt know where to play him, pick a centre in the centre position, promote Seers if have to at least some pace out wide

It's probably not a bad move.
I think we really have to muscle up in this game.
It's the only way we'll beat them.

If Bailey doesn't start producing we may as well let him bludge in PL. Let someone who's willing to have a go play in the top team, like Kent.

Why do you think Raper included Gibson on his extended bench.

Including Williams and Isemonger was probably to cover for Vagana and Beattie. For Vagana, Bailey goes to the centres, and Williams is promoted. If Beattie is out, Isemonger is promoted (that won't make many people happy).

But What about Gibson - is Sullivan or Bosnich carrying an injury and in doubt? Or is he just letting Bosnich know he is sailing close to being dropped? Maybe he is thinking about shifting Sullivan to 6 and reshuffling the pack around. The starting pack and bench would then look something like this:

Hilder
Dumas
Bickerstaff
Nutley
Bosnich
Stevens

Williams
Williams/Isemonger
Galloway
Gibson

Gibson deserves another shot I reckon, regardless of what happens with Sullivan. If Raper sticks with the two hooker strategy, I'd prefer Sullivan and Gibson over Bosnich.

C'mon you Sharkies!!!

Well looking at the Canberra team, their strength is thier forwards. Bailey should be able to cope with Canberra's centres.
Raper has been consistant here IMO, he said Bailey was picked at centre whilst Nig was injuried, now he is suspended, Bailey has replaced him again.
They obviously do not rate the PL centres.

I would be swapping Hilder and Sullivan.

Good. I'd leave Bailey in the centres when Vagana comes back. We don't have a better option. Can he play on the left side of the park though?
